A local primary school has boosted its Ofsted rating and is now rated ‘Good’ in all areas.
The Manor CE Primary School on Ruskin Avenue has received ‘glowing’ praise in its recent Ofsted inspection for every category, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision.
The rating follows the school’s Ofsted inspection in 2022, which rated the school as ‘requires improvement.’
Headteacher Michael Park said, “We are thrilled that this report reflects the caring and ambitious nature of our school. Thank you to all our pupils and their parents and all our staff; your hard work and dedication make all the difference. We look forward to continuing to work together to provide the best support for all pupils.”
In the inspector’s report, it noted that pupils’ achievements are improving and new leaders have ‘completely overhauled the curriculum to meet the needs of pupils.’ The curriculum is now described as, ‘ambitious and interesting, opening pupils’ eyes to the world around them.’
The Manor Primary School is part of the White Horse Federation. Director of education Simon Cowley said, “Congratulations to everyone at The Manor. It is brilliant to see that this report reflects the significant progress the school has made. You should all be very proud.
“We will continue to support our colleagues’ unwavering ambition to deliver the best learning experience possible for every child.”
